About the Project

We are working in partnership with Edmonton Community Partnership and the North London Integrated Care Board to improve heart health in Haringey and Edmonton through research participation. The programme is part of a wider initiative to improve health in Haringey that we are delivering as part of the Research Engagement Network.

The project is funded by the North London Integrated Care Board and builds on the successful partnership work we delivered in 2024 on mental health and prostate health. To deliver the programme, we are collaborating with local organisations, including Sewn Together, Black Arts Production Theatre, Basketball CIC, and RISE Projects, to amplify health messages around heart health within their communities. Working together, we aim to ensure that the people of Haringey and Edmonton have healthier hearts now and in the future.  

In 2020, the mortality rate from cardiovascular disease in Haringey was higher than the London and England averages and is the second highest cause of death in Haringey.  We are now on a mission to change that.  The programme focuses on addressing five long-term conditions that impact heart health: hypertension (High Blood Pressure), diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2), obesity, high cholesterol, and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
